Disable/enable an input with jQuery?

Question

$input.disabled = true;

or

$input.disabled = \"disabled\";

Which is the standard way? And, conversely, how do yo

Answer 1

I used @gnarf answer and added it as function

   $.fn.disabled = function (isDisabled) {
     if (isDisabled) {
       this.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
     } else {
       this.removeAttr('disabled');
     }
   };

Then use like this

$('#myElement').disable(true);
